Chief Heavy Runner

Heavy Runner was a Blackfoot
leader of the 19th century. He belonged to the Southern
Piegan band,
whose territory was located in what is today Montana.
He was also known as Bear Chief or Tail That Goes Up The Hill.
(It was very common for Plains Indian men to have multiple names during their lifetime.)
Heavy Runner negotiated a peace treaty with the Americans,
but he was tragically killed in 1870 during an attack known as the Marias (or Baker) Massacre.
Tradition says that Heavy Runner was actually holding a copy of the peace treaty when he was
treacherously shot to death.
